Gmail Phishing Warning Messages

Owen Densmore
Administrator
I've recently changed to gmail, web browser version, and have seen the following warnings in many posts to these lists from gmail users:

This message may not have been sent by: [hidden email]  Learn more  Report phishing

I then looked at individual emails from the same person directly to me and the warnings were absent.

Two questions:

1 - Is this also appearing in your email when using gmail's web UI?  I may have some setting wrong.
2 - Is there any way to get the authorization header inserted into Friam and Discuss (see Learn more link)?  I ask because I suspect the problem is that lists make it appear it is "from [hidden email]" even though routed through the list, then to my gmail account.

I'm thinking this is new behavior due to google's new social networking work and is an attempt to have the emails vetted for phishing.  But then, I may have screwed up my gmail settings, they do tend to be confusing.

I'm not kidding, here's the email I got from your response!  Anyone else?  Or do I have to figure out how to fix gmail & chrome.  Again!

Re: [sfx: Discuss] Gmail Phishing Warning Messages

Owen—this email is composed in gmail's web interface and it's actually from a gmail address (I've got my "send mail as..." set to the address you see).

One email is going direct to you, the other via FRIAM. Do you get phishing warnings on either of them?

Funny. I also use gmail, and exclusively with the web UI. I don't get
these warnings attached to my mailing lists messages. Perhaps I at
some point marked these as trusted? I don't remember doing that!

And here's what I see reading your email:

This message may not have been sent by: [hidden email]  Learn more  Report phishing

Weird.  Great example of What You See Is Not What I see!  (WYSINWIS)
